A severe gas crisis has gripped the capital, leading to endless queues at CNG refueling stations. The shortage, triggered by technical failures and a fire at a floating LNG terminal, has left drivers stranded for hours waiting to fuel their vehicles.
Public transport drivers, particularly those operating CNG-run auto-rickshaws and ride-sharing services, are the worst affected, with many losing significant portions of their daily income due to downtime.
Private vehicles and office transport are also stuck in the long lines, further paralyzing city traffic.
As station operators struggle with critically low gas pressure, the scarcity shows no immediate sign of easing, leaving thousands of commuters in a state of uncertainty.
